This is my DT Card for The Book Month Challenge at Outlawz. It is inspired by Maya Anegelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings! It is also my entry at Unstampabelles. It is nice to see more sites that don't require stamping. So glad I found these ladies! When you enter their challenges, just remember they are on Australian time!

I really enjoy making these little cards! I hope to create some ATCs using some of my old metal stencils, I think I might be able to produce a pretty cool image. I purchased a set of Artist Cards, and I used one of those for my bird cage ATC. I put the cards away and could not find them today, but I realized I had a ton of medium weight chipboard so I used that for the next two ATCs. For those of you not familiar with Artists Trading Cards, they are an off shoot of Artists Cards which many famous artist use to make and sell for extroadinary amounts of money. Artist Trading Cards are not intended to be sold. The only rule is that the card must be 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". You can paint them, etch, stencil, whatever you desire. Hope you enjoy looking! C-YA!

These ATCs were created for the Creative Freebies Challenge at The Outlawz. The digis were created by my Teammies, Sandi Huggett (Angel) and Anne E. Fenton (Cupcakes). This week Anne and Sandi were very generous and gave us four wonderful Digis for our creations. I was only able to complete projects using these two. If you are just starting to use digital images/stamps, the CFC Challenge at The Outlawz might be a good place for you to start. Twice a month, you will receive two-four free digis and it is only necessary to use one in a project in order to get the next set of free images.
While you are at The Outlawz, check out the other seven great weekly challenges: CAS, Greetings, Sketch, Copics, Twisted Thursday, Color, Paper Ala Mode.

Here is a quick card I made for the CAS Challenge at the Outlawz! I am so glad to be done (almost) with holiday cards. So I chose an image that is as far removed from the holidays as possible! The Challenge was to create a BABY CARD! I had to force myself to go into my studio, which is highly unusual for me. When I was in there, all I did was stare at my drafting table. I made a simple card for my DT card this week. I hope my Mojo comes back. I'm blaming it on a lot of DRAMA at work and the drain of the holidays, although Chanukah is one of the easiest and least stressful of all Jewish Holidays!

I wish my camera (of course it is the camera) had captured the glitter on this card. In real life it is so pretty. I am not a big glitter fan and use it infrequently, but I must say I like how this card tured out. The crystal bead chain that I laced through the bottom is hard to see on the picture but is really stunning in person. Well enough bragging on my own card. Hop over to OutLawz and enter one of our challenges.

Check out this inspirational challenge at Friendship's Garden. Remember, there is no stamping at this site. Great way to challenge yourself in the fine art of mixing and matching design papers. I am always impressed by those ladies who can put 20 pieces of dp on one card and end up with a simply breathtaking design Obviously, I'm not at the breathtaking stage..not yet! This dp was the closet I could come to the colors. I also entered this card in the Outlawz CAS challenge. But since I'm a DT member, I was only playing for fun!

Here is my DT card for the Outlawz Greeting Challenge. The "Theme" this week, hosted by, "Yours Truly" was "A TALL Card! My card is 3 3/4" x 9". The tree is detachable and can be hung on the tree as a handmade ornament.

I absolutely fell in love with this "Memory Box" Die the moment I saw it! Actually, this card has two Memory Box dies. I am posting this while at work, so I don't have the deets. I will come back and post those this evening! Be well, Chana﻿

The color challenge at Outlawz last week included a twist, your design had to include a pumpkin. I had this wonderful dp and since I didn't use it in any of my Thanksgiving projects, I thought it was perfect for this challenge!
